Three days passed quickly. When Qin Wanru came back from the old lady's courtyard, she saw Qu Le and a middle-aged man standing outside the door of her courtyard. Seeing her return, Qu Le hurriedly stepped forward.
"Miss, this is my slave's father."
The middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted Qin Wanru: "Second Miss! I am Qu Le's father!"
Qin Wanru's eyes fell on the middle-aged man. He was a man in his thirties or forties. He was dressed the same as ordinary rural people. His head was lowered and his face could not be seen clearly, but he was tall. The height is extremely high, a bit higher than the average villagers. Although his head is lowered, his behavior is not panicked.
"Are you from the capital?" Qin Wanru asked with a faint look after looking him up and down.
"Yes, the younger one is from the capital!" The middle-aged man nodded.
"Why come to Jiangzhou?" Qin Wanru looked at him coldly.
"The villain came to Jiangzhou to find talents. I heard that that person appeared in Jiangzhou." The middle-aged man said quickly after hearing the question.
"Both of you and your wife are from the capital?" Qin Wanru asked again.
"We are both husband and wife!" The middle-aged man did not hide it.
"Madam, did you ask your daughter to keep an eye on me and report my affairs to her?" There was no doubt in these words. Qin Wanru simply avoided these words and asked directly, her gaze falling on this man.
"Yes..." The middle-aged man's head lowered further.
"You know, if I deal with your whole family, it won't mean anything in the Jiangzhou area!" Qin Wanru smiled coldly, with a childish voice, "General Ningyuan's mansion is in Jiangzhou, and he wants to deal with a family. Even if it kills this family, it’s nothing!”
If he were in the capital, Qin Huaiyong was indeed nothing. His official rank was not high and his official position was not big. There were many high-ranking officials in the capital who could suppress him.
But this is Jiangzhou, and Qin Huaiyong, who has military power, wants to deal with a few people, so it is not a matter of ignorance.
"Second Miss, I really didn't say anything to you. In fact, Madam didn't ask much about you." The middle-aged man panicked and couldn't stand anymore. He pulled Qu Le and knelt down with him and said anxiously.
He had been in Jiangzhou for so many years, and of course he knew that what Qin Wanru said was not to scare him.
"You didn't say anything to me, so what did Madam say? Why do you always ask you to report things about me? I don't know what I did to give you so many things to report to Madam!" Qin Wanru said coldly.
"Little, little..." The middle-aged man hesitated and lowered his head further.
"Tell me about it!" Qin Wanru glanced at the middle-aged man and said slowly and slowly, increasing the pressure in his heart. He had threatened him just now. If he was smart, of course he would know what he would do!
"Madam... Madam is asking about why I came to Jiangzhou." The middle-aged man didn't look stupid. He hesitated for a moment and then said. Although the words were vague, Qin Wanru could still hear some of the sounds, and his face There was a hint of concentration.
"Your business, what's your business?"
"Yes... I want to ask who the young man came to Jiangzhou to find! And if he has been found, and some other trivial matters." There was sweat on the middle-aged man's forehead. He originally thought he was just an ignorant person. It's just a young lady, but she didn't expect to put so much pressure on herself. What she said frightened herself, and she didn't dare not say something useful.
However, there were some things that he would never say, whether it was Mrs. Di or the second young lady in front of him.
"Is the person you came to Jiangzhou looking for related to Madam?" Qin Wanru's expression remained unchanged, she pondered for a moment and then asked.
"It has nothing to do with Madam. The person who came to Jiangzhou from the capital has nothing to do with Madam. I don't know why Madam cares so much about such small things." The middle-aged man was actually at a loss. This lady from the General's Mansion Inexplicably, he is interested in his own affairs.
Although she seemed to be interested in Miss Qin's affairs, this middle-aged man was also smart. He had already discovered some details from Di's few words, and he kept delaying Di's question. Or pretend not to understand and respond vaguely.
However, based on his feeling, this second young lady who suddenly appeared seems to be a difficult one to deal with.
"Can you tell me something about you?" Qin Wanru didn't go around in circles and went straight to the point.
The middle-aged man felt that he was sweating more and more on his forehead. Although this young lady grew up in the Jiangzhou area and was not actually a young lady from an aristocratic family, she was actually so magnanimous and asked this question. It's all on point.
"This matter... please forgive me for not being able to tell you everything. It is related to some important family matters." The middle-aged man replied cautiously, "This is a private matter for me and has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"Why do you want to know, madam?" Seeing that although his answer was careful but firm, Qin Wanru knew that he would not tell the truth, so she simply changed the subject.
"This... I don't even know." The middle-aged man shook his head. He really didn't know what this matter had to do with Mrs. Di. This matter had nothing to do with Mrs. Di in the first place.
"Could it be... that this matter has something to do with Madam?" Qin Wanru reminded him, her watery eyes turned with a hint of clarity, "Could this person you are looking for have something to do with Madam?"
"No... impossible!" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and shook his head hastily.
"Why is it impossible?" Qin Wanru became curious.
"This... this is impossible, absolutely impossible, this... impossible!" The middle-aged man kept shaking his head, "The younger one is actually looking for two people, not just one person, but... but the lady is alone, and The young lady of Yong-Kang Bo Mansion cannot be related to small things!"
Because he was anxious, the middle-aged man explained one more sentence.
"Miss Yong-Kang Bo Mansion?" Qin Wanru bit her pink lips playfully.
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and the hand on his side trembled slightly.
"You actually know that Madam is a young lady from the Yong-Kang Bo Mansion. Most people in Jiangzhou only know that Madam is a young lady from a noble family in Beijing, but they don't know which family she is from. You, a banker, are so knowledgeable. , and also clearly know Madam’s origin, could it be that you have met Madam before?”
"Xiao... I haven't seen my wife before!" The middle-aged man was a little flustered.
"Weren't you in the capital before? Didn't you see my wife when you were traveling?" Qin Wanru stared at the middle-aged man and said coldly.
"Xiao Xiao... Xiao Xiao was just a small person at that time. How could he have met Mrs. Yong Comber." The middle-aged man shook his hands rapidly.
"But Madam recognized you!" Qin Wanru smiled slightly, her voice cold and sure.
"How is it possible... No, I'm just a servant. How could Madam recognize me?" The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he stuttered for a moment. When he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and as soon as he said something wrong, He was really panicked.
"So, which house are you a servant of?" Qin Wanru immediately caught the loophole in his words and asked coldly, then her voice turned sharp, "Are you a runaway slave from that noble family in Beijing?"
If he is a runaway slave and is captured, he will be slapped on the face and sentenced to death.
"No, no, I am not a runaway slave. I am... really looking for someone... to find our master. People in our house know about this!" The middle-aged man could not hide his panic and gritted his teeth. Not much to say.
"Are you looking for your master? You haven't found him after all these years? I heard from Qule that you have been in Jiangzhou for a long time. Is it possible that there has been no news for so many years and you have no intention of going back?" Qin Wanru continued. She asked Qu Le before. They had been in Jiangzhou Mansion for many years.
I have never heard of such a thing before, even though I have been searching for someone for so many years, I have not been able to find someone, but I have never gone back and settled down in Jiangzhou.
"Is it possible that your master was found, but you harmed him, so... you dare not return home?" Qin Wanru smiled, and it could even be called gentle, but the meaning of these words made Zhong Zhong, who was already confident, smile. The young man's face suddenly turned as pale as snow.
If this crime is really carried out, he will have no chance of survival.
"Second Miss Qin, how could I harm our master? If I really did harm our master, I would be struck by lightning! But our master has been missing for so many years... When I went out to look for my master, my old master said no. I won’t let the little one go back if he is found. Now that the master has not been found, the old master is gone too... The little one, the little one doesn’t know what to do!”
The middle-aged man sobbed and cried, wiping his tears while crying. Such a grown man knelt on the ground and cried. Thinking about what he said, he was indeed very pitiful.
Qingyue, who was standing aside, felt a little pity for him.
"Our master and the young lady of Yong-Kang Bo Mansion have indeed met several times. The young lady followed our master at first. Maybe the lady recognized the young lady, so she inquired about our master's affairs. But the young lady came to Jiangzhou For so many years, I haven't found my master, and even if I wanted to say it, I couldn't explain it. Even if Mrs. Di asked me again, I would still say these two words."
The middle-aged man continued, not hiding anything this time, except for the name of his master, and almost everything else.
This kind of thing can be regarded as a secret matter of the big family, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with others. Qin Wanru is just a weak girl, knowing that this kind of thing is not good for her, and may even cause trouble and gossip. Prose.
"Madam, do you really want to know that much?" Qin Wanru said slowly.
"It seems so. I don't know why Madam is so persistent. Even if she knows, so what. Besides, now that the old master is gone, no one will worry about him anymore."
The middle-aged man wiped his tears and said bitterly.
"Take Qu Le away and move!" Qin Wanru didn't ask any more questions. After a pause, her eyes darkened, "I don't want Madam to inquire about me from you again!"
